Microscope Incubation System Heating and Cooling Stages

Live samples require precisely maintained environmental conditions in order to survive. Many cells are especially sensitive to temperature changes which can have a profound effect on metabolism and gene expression. These microscope heated stages ensure that your samples maintain their optimal temperatures on the microscope even when doing extended time-lapse imaging. The entire bottom of the stage is heated to eliminate temperature gradient. Temperature stability is maintained to within 0.01 degrees C with a built-in sensor and separate temp controller. Systems can be configured to accept chambered glass slides, cover slip chambers, petri dishes, glass bottom dishes and multi-well plates.

 

Precision heating and cooling stages are available without cryogens (thermoelectric stages), or using liquid nitrogen.
